SemiAnalysis AgentX InferenceXv3 makes KV cache the agent inference battleground
Agent workloads are not just longer chats. They are messy, multi-turn cost machines where serving behavior now matters as much as model choice.
- Benchmark agents with long context and multi-turn traces, not just clean single exchange demos.
- Track KVCache HitRate and total token cost as core production metrics for agent workloads.
- Compare serving stacks and platforms together, because cost depends on the full inference envelope.
